I need chipotle chillies for a recipe. Is it possible to find them here (in HK)?

I have gotten chipotle chilli flakes in a jar in Olivers (where the spices are). Otherwise I doubt that you will find them anywhere else - HK isn't big on authentic Mexican ingredients. (I always stock up when I visit the US). If you want the kind that come in sauce in a jar or tin, I suspect you will be out of luck.


What are you making, by the way?

hkkm, thanks for your suggestion. Do you think the dried chipotle chilli flakes would work for this recipe:

I also saw canned diced Jalapeno chillies at Oliver's. Which one should I buy for the above recipe?


AHK, thanks also for your info but I don't intend to buy in bulk so that may not be a viable place to get what I need.

Sante, one of the comments for that recipe is from someone who used dried instead of canned chipotle chillies. As they suggest, soak the flakes in hot water for 1/2 hour or so first. Don't use jalapenos as they don't have that smokey taste that the chipotles have.

Thanks for your advice, hkkm, went to Oliver's yesterday but couldn't find the dried chipotle flakes.
